Trump’s ‘Whining’ Begins To Wear Thin

Trump’s ‘Whining’ Begins To Wear Thin April 6 David Sherfinski.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign blamed his loss in Wisconsin’s primary Tuesday on “illegal” tactics by chief rival Sen. Ted Cruz, attempting to dismiss his disappointing finish as the result of dirty tricks but instead earning accusations that he’s “whining.”

Mr. Trump and his advisers said Mr. Cruz illegally colluded with a political action committee and is a “Trojan horse” for the GOP establishment — a comment the Texas senator waved aside, saying it was more proof that Mr. Trump is struggling and voters are tiring of his brash approach to politics.

“Donald has no solutions to the problems we’re facing,” Mr. Cruz told reporters Wednesday. “He likes to yell and scream and insult and curse, and his statement last night was consistent with that.”

His post-Wisconsin accusations are just the latest instance of Mr. Trump excusing a poor performance by saying he was done in by dirty deeds. After losing the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Trump accused the Cruz campaign of frightening voters and spreading false rumors that fellow candidate Ben Carson was quitting the race.

The combative approach to a loss is yet another departure from standard political practice, said Rick Hasen, a political scientist at the University of California, Irvine School of Law.

“I think Trump is a terrible whiner,” Mr. Hasen said. “He’s always making excuses when he loses as opposed to being a gracious loser, which I think we’ve seen [from] Cruz and Clinton and Sanders and Rubio. Usually they [say] ‘I congratulate my opponent on a hard-fought race’ — that’s a more typical thing that you hear. Not ‘they cheated, it’s not fair, there are too many people running against me’ or anything like that,” Mr. Hasen said.

The less-than-gracious approach to losing has so far....

Begins? LOL. As a Delaware Valley resident, I’ve been listening to Trump act this way for near on 30 years now. The act was old in the 1980s.

Will make America proud?

We are trading a New York City Realtor with a flock of lawyers for a three card Monte Dealer from Chicago.

What could possibly go wrong?

Been waiting with bated breath for the great David Sherfinski to chime-in on Trump! Finally!

BTW, the bulls*** Trump bashing-in-perpetuity articles got old a long time ago. Shove ‘em where the sun don’t shine.

Trump is good and whining and complaining and calling names. When he falls short at the convention, he will have only himself to blame. But he will whine instead and complain, and call names.

I was complaining about it back early summer, but apparently there are a (nutty) bunch who voted in GOP primary who think that his whining and hissy fits are ‘strength’.

Lately though it finally seems to be catching up with him, hopefully.

"Donald has no solutions to the problems we’re facing", Mr. Cruz told reporters Wednesday.

Boy, first sentence lie. That didn't take long.

Mr. Cruz might not like the solutions offered by Mr. Trump to problems such as immigration, taxation, education, health care, and trade, but to blithely claim that Donald Trump "has no solutions" is, by any reasonable standard, a lie...

Rick Hasen, quoted in this article is a genius on two fronts. I agree with him and he teaches at UC Irvine. Go Anteaters.

Not sure I totally agree with that statement, but gotta question for ya.

Would you support Cruz if he were to win the nomination fair and square?

Being a Cruz supporter, I'd support Trump...how bout’cha?

F*** you Cruz. Trump has such solutions that you feel the need to co-opt them for your own. Go to hell you phony bastard.

Oh well. After the New York win, trump will be happy. Trump has had a bad two weeks but is still standing. He will have a good month. Cruz is going to be finally tested by an unfriendly media. Let’s see how he does. This is new for Cruz. The media so far has treated Cruz very nice. That’s about to change. I doubt Cruz will like it.

“I think Trump is a terrible whiner,” Hasen said.

Except for the "terrible" part, not even Trump himself disputes this.
